Day Three Hundred Thirty Four

Sweet!

Grand daughter Shelby's third grade teacher picked up on the fact that Shelby loves the whole 'Twilight Saga' stories. Of course, Shelby has made no secret of it. When Shelby got in from school this afternoon, she couldn't wait to show me what her teacher had given to her today--a package of Twilight New Moon creme filled chocolates. No kidding. Shelby was so pleased and excited that she immediately began to create a thank you card for her teacher.

The one she opened was inside a Bella wrapper. It says Bella on the first heart and Cullen on the second heart, along with the Cullen family crest. How cool is that! Shelby says her teacher told her she found these at K-Mart. What a sweet thing for a teacher to do for a student. This teacher is obviously paying attention. And, yes, Shelby thoroughly enjoyed her chocolate!

Day Three Hundred Twenty Three

Randomness

Look who was waiting for me at Burger King for lunch today. Mr. Edward Cullen (a.k.a. Robert Pattinson), my favorite vampire boyfriend. Looking forward to seeing 'New Moon' Friday morning (I've never been to a movie at 10:00 A.M. in my life!) Go Team Edward!

I can certainly understand Team Jacob! Mr. Jacob Black (a.k.a. Taylor Lautner) is my fave werewolf/shape shifter. I didn't see Bella at the BK. (Hanging out with Alice, perhaps...)

No, wait, there she is on my LARGE cup of Diet Coke. Neil wasn't going to get one at first, but then he said he'd give his to Shelby. He did take it with him back to work. I'll bet that was interesting.

When I went to pick up Elijah at Mother's Day Out this afternoon, he was fast asleep with his other classmates.

He was so peacefully sound asleep; I hated to wake him up. But he was happy to see me and ready to go to Granny's house. I guess the turkey knocked them all out. They had their Thanksgiving dinner at MDO.

Eddie watches for Shelby to come home from school. As per usual, he hid in the bushes and jumped out on her as she passed by.

Shelby got her mid-term grades today (I think that's what she called it). She got four As and two Bs. She wrote a note to her grandpa to let him know how well she did. (Can you say trip to the Dairy Queen?) She loves science and she loves to read.

"I could die reading." That's a direct quote from Miss Shelby and I believe her. Two of her As were in reading and English. Maybe it's genetic because I can certainly relate. I hope it sticks.
